by Betzalel Kahn The Jerusalem Region Planning and Construction Committee is scheduled to discuss a plan to build a 15- room facility to lodge priests on the Mount of Olives at a site believed to contain Jewish graves from the First Temple Period.

Traffic Circles Expected to Turn Golda-Shamgar Road from Thoroughfare into City Streetby Betzalel Kahn "Both the City of Jerusalem and the Ministry of Transportation agree the Shamgar-Golda Road, upon its completion, will be closed on Shabbatot and yomim tovim. The traffic circles made all along the road will render it a city street rather than a major thoroughfare," reported HaRav Aryeh Devir following a request by HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, shlita, to perform a detailed inquiry regarding the road between Ramot and Kiryat Tzanz currently under construction.

Son of Rav Yaakov Kohen zt"l, one of the prime builders of Torah in postwar France, Rav Shmuel has for the past two-and-a- half years successfully taken the reins and continued the tremendous strides his father made in the southern French city of Marseille before his tragic death at age 65.
